Both my parents have passed away. I am an only child. I have only one aunt let who lives overseas and we are not close. I have plenty of cousins but have not seen theee in years The only cousin I have contact with lives just over an hour away annd we get on but its suerficial. He is tied up with his own family. Is anyone else in thee sae boat with no family sos to speak. I do havee two half sisters but they live about 3 hours away and tey are extreely bitter and jealous so I have no contact with them I have held out my hand of friendship to thm but because of the past they do not want to know me andd it is not my fault. We share the same father but my father left them and made a new life andd I cae along and they have nevere got over that and I a a reminder of that so they do not want contact.

Is it possible to live a life without any family

My dh pretty much does. No parents. Doesn't speak to his brother. 1 uncle. He speaks to him rarely. 2 cousins he doesn't speak with and an elderly grandad who he has limited contact with. We have each other and some of my family.

Yes of course it is possible. I don't speak to any of my family
